Hello, assuming you already did the medical check and passport stamping, how much more time it will take to get the actual EID in your hands?

I read different things about it, some mention its instabtly other a month.
Thanks
 

Emirates ID within 24 hours​

Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (FAIC) provides an urgent service for getting the Emirates ID card within 24 hours. The service is known as ‘Fawri’ and is available against the regular stated fees plus an urgent service fee.

The service is available for all age groups for UAE nationals and GCC nationals officially residing in UAE and can be obtained for:

  • first time registration
  • renewal of expired cards
  • lost or damaged cards.


As for the expatriate residents other than GCC nationals, they are entitled to the urgent service only in case of replacement of their identity cards because the issuance or renewal of identity cards is linked to proof of residency and related procedures.



To obtain this service, visit the FAIC Customer Happiness Centres without prior notice and present the documents specified.



Fawri service is available at the following FAIC Customers Happiness Centres:

  • Al Jazeera and Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi
